NNI4NC problems 2020/09/25

Submitted by NNI4NC on Fri, 2020-09-25 18:02

I was recently advised that the station is having an excess number of outages. Because I don't physically monitor the station 24/7, often the first time I am aware that something has gone wrong is when I get the email telling me that the station didn't report status for more than 4 hours. That also goes to other people who then ping on me. I don't like that. So what to do?

W7PFB-10 Station changes

Submitted by W7PFB on Sat, 2020-09-19 15:52

W7PFB-11 has been shifted from BPQ running on a Raspberry PI and a TNC-X onto different hardware in order to support VARA FM.

Vara FM appears to be both the bee's knees and the cat's pajamas rolled into one. The Soundmodem soft TNC and the VARA FM soft TNC happily coexist and the station seems to seamlessly support both VARA and packet with no difficulties. Adding VARA FM support has sparked a surge of interest in VARA locally and performance is dramatically better than 1200 baud packet. I encourage other operators to explore supporting VARA FM.

AB4NX is back up

I had planned to remove the gateway from the air until I could move it. It is now back up on the air. It will be moved to the north Georgia mountains sometime in October.
